Two rival alphas. A pregnant omega keeping a dangerous secret...
Rael might be prince of Goldenfall, a legendary city rumored to hold the secret to controlling all shifters, but he's also an omega wolf. A very pregnant omega, in fact—the result of a one-night stand in a faraway city. But after two rival werewolf packs unite to conquer Goldenfall, he ends up at the mercy of both powerful alphas. The first is Koda, a dark, fierce, and intimidating warrior wolf who lets his bold actions speak for him. But shockingly, the second alpha is Mavek, the handsome and charming werewolf who seduced him so long ago. The father of his child. When an army of outcast wolves besieges the city hoping to enslave them all, the alphas realize they must take the Goldenfall prince as a mate to unite the defenders. To buy time, Rael is forced to claim the right of an omega under the Old Laws, allowing him to choose his mate. But now his time is running out. The child will be born soon...and both alphas believe the myth that Rael's child is the key to ruling all shifters. And that has always been a lie...
After Mavek's father is killed in the battle for Goldenfall, he suddenly becomes alpha to his pack. But when he meets the captive prince, he's stunned to realize the pregnant omega is a shifter he once shared a scorching-hot night with. Even though the omega swears the child isn't Mavek's, he still intends to claim the prince as mate and save Goldenfall from an army of rogue wolves. But after Rael claims his rights under the Old Law, Mavek must do more than simply seduce the omega again. He must win his trust...and his heart. But what to do about Koda, his rival? Especially when Mavek is just as attracted to Rael as he is to Koda, the alpha he once faced on the battlefield...
While it wasn't Koda's idea to attack Goldenfall, he's a werewolf who loves battle and never turns away from a challenge. He intends to take the prince as his mate to secure the legendary power of a royal omega's heir for himself, but he's far more familiar with the challenges of battle than the challenges of romantic seduction. And complicating matters even more is his growing desire for his rival, the alpha with the easy smile and stunning green eyes. But with assassins trying to kill the prince and his heir, Koda knows he's in for the fight of his life. He intends to crush anyone looking to harm the hauntingly beautiful Rael. Koda might fear no enemy, but is he ready for a battle for an omega's heart against a rival alpha?
Reader note: contains M/M/M Mpreg, male/male love and fantasy romance elements. A stand-alone story with a happy ending
A nice, easy read… and nice utilization of size difference. But bogged down with too much plot. Instead of having the outcast wolves show up, I would have rather seen more on-page time between the three MCs. A whole month goes by, but there’s like one interaction with Rael and each of the alphas alone, and then a couple meetings where they discuss the city more than each other. Less plot, more romance in my romance, please.
This book could be great but the pregnancy ruined it for me. Since the prince was in advanced pregnancy from the start of the book I couldn't imagine him as a male but I imagined a pregnant princess all the time. The story will be the same if he was a princess. I guess my brain can't accept mpregnancy. For me the best part of homosexuality is many steamy scenes and no consequences. Here we got just one steamy scene but two big men doing a tiny very pregnant person make me sick. Even courting a pregnant person was awkward. If the prince wasn't pregnant we could have a steamy scene with one and another with the other suitor. As well since the two suitors are attacked to each other we deserve a steamy scene between them. But we miss it all. If the prince wasn't pregnant the tension and desires between them would be stronger. They could had a great HEA even without a child.
A much better (and longer) read compared to the author's debut work. This one felt more polished and less rushed, and the relationship developed in a slower pace.
The issues I had with her debut work weren't here. Names weren't switched around, and it was easy to keep track of perspectives. The main characters also didn't fall in love overnight, though of course there's a bit of history and lust among the three of them as well.
It would've been nice to have a bit more worldbuilding, and a few of my questions weren't quite answered by the end of the book. Somehow I also wished that they hinted at Rael perhaps bearing Koda's child as well, but that's not much of a complaint.
Regardless, this was easy and sweet to read. Always great to see how authors improve from one book to the next.
Franchement c’était quoi ça? Sérieux c’est une histoire.! La blague. Les alphas ne font que se grogner dessus et dès fois se désirer. Et l’oméga est un homme with a dick! WTF!!! Quel âge ont ces auteurs nom de dieu!!! Confondre désir et amour, reconnaissance et amour etc... Les alphas aiment l’oméga parce qu’il est justement un oméga. Pas d’affection entre les alphas, une scène de sexe bâclée, même la passion semble off. Bordel! J’en ai marre!! Suis-je si stupide que l’auteur ne prend aucunement la peine de développer ses personnages, son histoire et autres composantes qui font d’un livre un Livre. Sans déconner!
I was intrigued by this story and enjoyed it immensely. The two alphas were like day and night which was mentioned often, but the omega was a lucky guy.
